I need to create some TabHost form paging. There is sliding animation effects in TabHost column when switching options page.

I want to implement the page also has sliding animation effects. How to so this? I check the reference it said using Tabhost or ActivityGround. But I do not know how to do.

Is anyone can give me some advice? Thanks!

Answer 1

you can done this by using ViewPager and PageIndicator.

for compatibly with older Android versions, and more options.

use ViewPagerIndicator Lib https://github.com/JakeWharton/Android-ViewPagerIndicator/

try this code:

    import android.view.View;
    import android.view.animation.AccelerateInterpolator;
    import android.view.animation.Animation;
    import android.view.animation.TranslateAnimation;
    import android.widget.TabHost;
    import android.widget.TabHost.OnTabChangeListener;

/**
 * A custom OnTabChangeListener that uses the TabHost its related to to fetch information about the current and previous
 * tabs. It uses this information to perform some custom animations that slide the tabs in and out from left and right.

public class AnimatedTabHostListener implements OnTabChangeListener
